Hi, sorry if this has been asked a lot before.
Looking at some wheels, will these fit without any problems?

You might just get away with it, you'd need to do the arch screw mod on the front and add a little camber on the rear i'd suggest.

You might scrub a little on hard cornering at speed or with passengers in the back......

Cheers for that, I'll do a bit of research into the camber and give them a go!

They fit nicely I had the same specs with a 215/40 front and 225/40 rear
Natural camber while lowering is fine for the back as mine never rubbed and front just need the screw mod

Ahh did they scrub badly? Did you manage to sort it with a bit of camber?
Cheers
